Fundraiser for First Responders
LGNC thanks all of the volunteer fire companies and agencies who worked around the clock to contain the recent Lehigh Gap brush fire.
 
LGNC is collecting monetary donations for our local volunteer fire companies. If you are interested in making a contribution, please mail cash or checks to Lehigh Gap Nature Center at P.O. Box 198, Slatington, PA 18080 and clearly state that your donation is to be directed toward “fire response.” LGNC will distribute donations directly to the fire companies at the end of this month.

Lehigh Gap Nature Center is currently developing its next five-year strategic framework, which will shape our goals from 2027 through 2031. We are seeking your valuable input to ensure that the framework best serves the needs of our members, partners, and community members.

Please consider taking 10-15 minutes to complete the anonymous survey linked here.
